ST. LOUIS, JAM 28-Arrangements for the
consolidation of the st. Louis & Kansas City
short-line and the Missouri Central railroads
have been completed. the deal closed, and the
papers signed. A meeting of the stockholders
will be held in this city on Tuesday next. and
John D. Perry, of ST. Louis, will be elected
president, and Geo. w. Parker, of the Cairo
short-line. vice president The board of direct
will be selected by the holders of the fran
chises. When it was asserted that Missouri
Contra was to be a western extension of the
Bee-line the officials of that company at Ciave-
land stoutly denied it. but it is now proved to be
true. Among other things that 60 to prove this
is the fact that President Stevenson Burke, of
the Bee-line, will be elected president Of the
board of directors of the consolidated lines.
Nothing definite has been decided upon as to the
route, except that the line will pass through St.
Louis instead Of Alton, as previously planned.
and that traffic arrangement will probably be
made with the proposed ST. Louis, Kansas City
and Colorado road.

LOSSES BY FIRE.
Destruction of One of the Steamship Piers In
New York Harbor-Loss, $50, 900.

Destruction of One of the Steamship Piers In
New York Harbor-Loss, $50, 900.
NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Fire broke out this
afternoon on the Cromwell Pier, No. North
river. and in less than an hour the whole struct-
ure and its contents were destroyed. The steam
ers Of this line ply between New York and
New Orleans. When the engines, summoned by
three alarms of fire, got to the scene the whole
pier was one mass of flames. The fire was first
seen in stack of cotton bales in the center of
the dock, and the rapidity with which the flames
spread barely gave the dock hands time to es-
cape Horses attached to trucks were on the
dock at the time, and it was supposed that some
of them had been burned. Alongside the pier
lay the steamer Louisiana, which was ready
to SAIL and on her decks were pas
sengers waving their adieus to their
friends on shore. On the other side of the dock
was the steamer New Orleans. Both vessels
were towed out to midstream. The passengers
on the Louisiana were taken off by the police
officers the dock, who were protecting the
non union workment The vessels upper works
were in flames while the passengers were being
passed down the side. The Louisiana was lowed
out into the stream and the flames extinyuished.
She will be ready to sail ss soon as repairs are
made. There were 200 bales of cotton piled up
on the dock, besides a lot of other freight ready
for shipment. Many bales OF cotton and bar
res of sugar were rolled off the dock before the
fire reached them. In short time it was seen
that the pier could not be saved, and portion
of the Are department lent their efforts to
save the adjoining piers. The Long
Branch pier caught fire several times, owing to
the flame being carried that way by the wind.
Pier 10. on the north side escaped with q
scorching to its paint, and SO did the houses on
West street opposite the dock. About twenty

The Thirteen win BE Sustained.

CHICAGO Jan. 29-Selz. Schwab & Co.'S 225
strikers fought shy of the factory, at the corner
of Washington street and Wabash avenue, this
morning. There were no crowds around, and
two policemen, who stood on the opposite cor
ner, had nothing to do. The thirteen young
women who precipitated the strike by refusing
to join the Knights of Labor were at work on
the top floor, and the foreman remained in the
Office to receive applications for places. One of
the members of the firm said he expected to
have no trouble in getting men enough to
fill the vacancies, and that there would
probably be q full force on by the
middle of the week. This afternoon a special
committee of three, from district assembly No.
"a, visited the factory. They asked to talk with
tho girls, and were ushered into the work-room.
There spirited conference was held, and the
young women announced that they would sooner
quit than join the Knights. Later the commit
tee talked the matter over with Mr.. Mayer.
They asked him. he said, whether it was policy
to let 225 men 60 for the sake of thirteen women
He replied: ''It may not be policy, but, if the
thirteen are in the right, the firm will stand
with them against the 225" Mr.. Mayer said
the members of the firm are a unit on the ques-
ton, and that there would be no backdown.
The strikers also present an uncompromising

A Thief Gives Himself AWAY.

On Friday Eugene Hogan, of Noolesville had
valise containing a new suit of clothes and
some other goods stolen from the Union Depot,
while waiting for his train. The depot police
suspected young colored man by the name Of
George Winfield, who had been seen
about the waiting room that day. Yesterday
afternoon Winfield came to the depot as driver
for Frank Bird. and when one of the officers ap-
preached him he ran. That satisfied him that
he was the person wanted, and later in the
evening he was arrested at Birds stable. The
valise was recovered, but the clothes were miss

United States marshal on Monday next, and
have bondsmen ready TO furnish bail.
There seems to be q strong probability that
within the next twenty-four hours the strike
situation in this vicinity will be complicated by
the tying up of almost every surface railroad
in the city. This step is said to be in con-
temptation as an act OF moral support to the
striking longshoremen and coal-handlers. Con-
ductors on several of the roads declared to-day
that the tie-up was not only in contemplation,
but had been practically decided upon
Great resentment was caused among the
drivers particular line this morn
ing by an order from the supern-
tendent taking away their stools. Heretofore
it has been customary for drivers to drive sitting
between Forty fourth and Eighty sixth streets
The strikers said that every man on the read
would strike unless the stools were restored, in
dependent of the proposed movement to support
the 'longshoremen. A meeting of the employees
of the road is in progress to night and the stools
will be demanded from the superintendent If
he refuses to give them, the order for the strike
will be sent out.

John McCabe is an old Irishman who, with
young wife and three small children occupies a
garnet room in the Cleveland Block corner of
Mississippi street and Kentucky avenue. In
the same block has resided German bachelor,
fifty years of age. For several months
he has been causing much trouble in the
McCabe household. He worked at Taggart's
bakery, and has been in the habit of brin sing to
Mrs. McCabe, when he returned from his days
work, some of Mr. Taggart's choicest bread, pies,
and cakes. Last evening the McCabe family had
supper at o'clock. When the meal was over
Mr.. McCabe started down stairs by a rear
stairway. At the head OF the stairs he
accosted Mr.. Petersen coming up with a sack of
bananas and a tray of steamine pies and cakes
He assaulted Petersen. After few blows, the
two clinched, and. in the struggle fell down the
stairway; distance OF twelve feet They
when McCabe thought he had killed his
victim he went on down stairs. B. c. Gillegan
who occupies room on the second floor, heard
the noise from the fight, and reached the scene

him, and overtaking him South Tennessee
street placed him under arrest and sent him to
the station house
DR.. Frank Marker was called and whom he
arrived Peterson WAS apparently dead. He was
found to have been cut twice on the right side OF
the neck. One cash was four inches in length
just below the jaw bone and penetrated to
within almost hairs breadth of the jueular
vein. The other was half inch longer, and,
also, almost reached the vein. The cuts were
pronounced of a very dangerous nature, but not
necessarily fatal.
There several stories regarding the diff
Guilty. 1t is claimed by Mrs. McCabe that the
cakes and pies carried to her by Petersen were
bought. and paid for, and that there was no in
timacy between them. She further declares
that her husband has been continually mistreat-
ing her, and only two weeks ago. ran her out of
the building with ak.
McCabe tells an altogether different story For
years, and until recently, he has been engaged
with grain dealers about the city as a buyer on
commission. He met farmers they came in
with grain, and made deal for his firm, receiv-
ing small commission the purchase. He
says he moved to the Cleveland Block two
months ago from St Clair street. Soon after he
moved. Petersen began to pay attentions to his
wife. and he SAYS there was a conspiracy formed
| to drive him away. Last Sunday night he came
home and was refused admittance by his wife
| and Petersen. When he went in by force they
| elected him, and in doing caught his hand
| in the door and broke two of his fingers. 1t was
then that he procured and attempted tc

and his wife thirty -eight.
